Devil's prize

EXOTIC, BEWITCHING, CRUEL

She stood before him, watching him with insolent eyes. "Do you find me so unattractive?"

Ethan's body quickened at her touch. "No," he said.

Melanie moved closer to him, her strange violet eyes bright with desire. "What are you waiting for, then?"

Ethan lifted his arms to her. "You devil!" He brought his hand against her cheek in a stinging slap.

Melanie did not flinch. "You can hit me all you want, Ethan," she whispered. "But you can't deny that you want me. You'll always want me -- as long as you live."

A bold, lusty novel of adventure, passion and intrigue set against the barbaric splendor of the primitive West Indies.
